I am happy to say that Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has included opening golf in the updated Safer at home (link below). I am sure we all thank him and all of the other people like Rob Hutton, Jon Plumer, WSGA and all involved in getting to the decision leading to this. I hope our combined 67,000 voices had something to do with it.
Lets make sure that we are all following and not abusing the rules. Order some food to go if available, thank the grounds crew and staff and play it safe. Support those local businesses.
